Monk Fruit Extract Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Identification

Product Name: Monk Fruit Extract
Chemical Name: Siraitia grosvenorii fruit extract
Common Names: Luo Han Guo Extract
Recommended Use: Sweetener and flavoring agent for food and beverage products
Manufacturer: Specific manufacturer details supplied on packaging or request
Contact Information: Supplied by raw material supplier
Emergency Phone Number: Local poison control or supplier’s number
SDS Number: Updated according to batch and supplier source

Hazard Identification

Hazard Classification: Non-hazardous for intended use in food applications
Physical Hazards: May cause dust clouds if handled in large quantities; avoid inhalation
Health Hazards: Inhalation of powder can irritate respiratory tract; ingestion at intended use levels considered safe
Environmental Hazards: No significant environmental risks at typical use levels
Label Elements: Not required due to non-toxic profile but include dust warning if handled in industrial volumes
Precautionary Statements: Minimize dust creation, maintain good industrial hygiene

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Ingredients: Dried and processed Siraitia grosvenorii fruit concentrate
Typical Purity: Mogrosides (main sweetening components) 25-80% depending on grade
Other Ingredients: Native fruit polysaccharides, trace minerals, negligible fat or protein
CAS Number: 88901-36-4
Impurities: No significant hazardous impurities detected in food-grade material
Herb Residues: Trace amounts possible, not considered hazardous at consumption levels

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air; rinse mouth and drink water if coughing persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with clean water for several minutes; seek medical attention if irritation continues
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water if irritation occurs or if large quantities contact skin
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; seek medical advice if large quantities ingested and symptoms develop
Most Important Symptoms: Mild irritation from dust exposure possible, severe symptoms rare
Special Advice for First Responders: Provide supportive care, avoid dust inhalation

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: None known for finished product
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Fine powder may form explosive dust-air mixtures in confined spaces
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for large fires, use standard firefighting gear
Specific Fire Procedures: Prevent dust cloud formation, evacuate if heavy smoke or fire
Combustion Products: CO2, potential for minor organic fumes depending on fire intensity

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, provide adequate ventilation
Protective Clothing: Wear dust mask, gloves, eye protection for large spills
Spill Response: Sweep or vacuum up without generating dust; collect for reuse or disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways if spilled in bulk; unlikely to cause harm at small scale
Cleaning Methods: Wet brushing or vacuuming preferred over dry sweeping to minimize dust

Handling and Storage

Precautions: Avoid creating airborne dust, use with adequate ventilation
Handling Practices: Protective gloves and dust mask recommended during bulk transfers
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep away from moisture and direct sunlight
Incompatibilities: No dangerous reactions with common materials; store away from strong oxidizers
Packaging: Food-grade sealed containers with lot number tracking
Hygiene: Wash hands and equipment thoroughly after use

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for Monk Fruit Extract; control general dust levels below nuisance dust recommendations (10 mg/m³ total dust, 3 mg/m³ respirable)
Engineering Controls: Proper ventilation, local exhaust for bulk handling
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask, safety glasses, gloves during bulk use
General Protection: Keep work area clean, avoid eating or drinking during handling
Special Considerations: Sensitive individuals may experience mild irritation if precautions ignored

Reactivity: No expected dangerous reactions under normal conditions
Hazardous Reactions: None with common industrial or food chemicals
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged moisture, excessive heat, open flames near large quantities
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents
Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, water vapor, trace organic compounds if burned

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for intended food uses
Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation (dust), skin and eye contact
